Manny Pacquiao

Oh man! There’s so much to talk about the Pacman these days. His historical win over Miguel Cotto last Sunday (PH time) being only an entree.. haha.

I don’t really like talking ’bout serious dishes like this one, I don’t do good research. I just eat up on what ever that I stumble upon. But about the Pacman lately? Oh man, there’s too much ish about him and his rumored mistress – oops! Did I just say the M word? haha.

Anyway alright, for the entree. We all know what he achieved last Sunday, ya? Whenever Pacman is set to go on the ring on a Sunday, everything here in the Philippines just goes to a halt. No traffic – man here’s one thing I want to try; there’s this one stretch of pavement we have in Metro Manila called EDSA it’s (I think) the busiest road we have here because it connects most of the cities here in the Metro. It’s like if you’re familiar with EDSA then you’re good, you won’t get lost. Anyway what I want to try is drive along EDSA during a Manny Pacquiao fight. haha. Quite shallow ya but driving is a form of release for me that this actually means something to me. Or this would be a big deal. But then ofcourse, me being Filipino I wouldn’t want to miss a Pacman fight, so I don’t think how that fantasy – if you may – of mine be possible. haha. A dilemma, ya? Well at least for me. Here’s another thing; low crime rate – it’s always been talked about in our local news that whenever Pacman is fighting, the country is united even for only a good few hours. Which I think is a cool thought. And then right after the fight people just go against those who don’t pay up on bets. haha. Nah, nah I was just kidding. So ya, these are just a few trivia’s that pretty much every Filipino have in their bag. But then of course if you have fun facts, there’s always the opposing sad stories. Some people, especially those with heart problems like the elder ones, some lose their lives. I have to admit if you’re a Filipino watching Pacquiao? Man, for some reason there’s this different feel to it like you want to get involved in the ring and like, even if you know he can’t hear you – obviously – you still scream your heart out. Seriously I do that. And some I guess just can’t help it and their blood pressure goes up like crazy which causes them to have heart attacks. Last fight if I’m not mistaken there were about nine or ten (link to available news provided) who lost their lives while watching the fight. Sad but true.

Would you believe some even came up with SAFETY TIPS FOR PACQUIAO-COTTO FIGHT? haha. Well, you better believe that.

That’s just some of the hypes that we Filipinos experience whenever Manny have bouts. He sure is one Filipino Pride.

OK now enough with the entree. Let’s have the main dish! haha.

The rise of Team Jinkee! Woot, wooot!

Man it’s all over the islands! Everybody is just talking about it here. News are going crazy – OK that’s exaggeration. But seriously though. Celebrity tweets say like “I <3 Team Jinkee” or “Team Jinkee all the way” and even “Go go go Team Jinkee”. I mean, that’s just really hilarious. Mo Twister posted this video on his newly-put-up blog. You saw it already? I would want you to watch it first before you read on. There’s just no way that girl was Jinkee Pacquiao (his wife). Do read the article narin it’s all there.

OK on this matter I’ll just link you to this post by Mo, that way you’ll be humored more than when I’ll be the one to talk about it.

Click me.

Just want to share this one. Took this photo "while driving" along C-5, Pasig.

Read about his Team Jinkee T-shirt? haha. Man that’s really funny. He talked about it on his morning radio show Good Times with Mo, Mojo and Grace Lee and man I personally think as well – like most of the callers do – agree that this shirt will be a hit. Seriously.

On a more serious note, it’s just weird how people are more interested in people’s mistakes than their achievements. Manny is too famous now that people are just watching his every move, every mistake. And you can’t blame the public nor the media for that. The one to blame I should say is the figure – The Pacman. He should be well aware of his public status, that way he should’ve been more careful. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be doin’ this and that, who am I to judge and say that, ya? Besides, Krista Ranillo? I mean, she’s not that pretty in my book but, c’mon – who would not want to – you know – with her? Let’s be realistic here. Anyway so much for that, this rumor be true or not I’m just gonna leave it at that.

OK for dessert! This part will be more of my thoughts. I’m just curious how this’ll all turn out in the coming days. For the “Hero’s Welcome”? (That’s what they call it whenever he comes home from a big fight) For upcoming press conferences? I doubt that it’ll be all about his fight this time though. Even his talked about running-for-congress-talks were put aside. I heard from my mom that in the news daw he made the media wait for him for a tiring four long hours for a press-con over at Vegas (I guess) only to show up and sit there for five short freakin’ minutes. Any truth to this? Insane, ya? And Ma said there were strict orders during that press con that there be no personal questions. I guess The Pacman had enough of answering “no comment” to those personal questions thrown right at him lately. Every time he gets cornered by the media and be asked about his rumored affair he answers “no comment”. And like Mo said “…in the real interpretative world, ‘No comment’ is admiss[i]on of guilt without confirmation”. It’s like answering with an indirect yes.

So anyway, so much for that. I still am proud of Manny Pacquiao – all unwanted baggage aside. He’s a good fighter, he trains well and he’s just awesome in the ring. And let’s not forget that he’s only human, thus he commits mistakes. But that’s not a good excuse – I know – to do immoral acts. But then again these are still “rumors”.

So I guess we’ll just have to see. I’m a pro-family type of guy so if he’ll be proven guilty, I guess that’d be minus respect at some point. But in my book, that won’t erase what he has done for this country and the Filipino people. But he has to face the consequences of all these. For now, I’m just curious what the upcoming days would bring – how will the media and the public react if there’s really truth to all this. Though from how I see it basing on the facts it’s 89.9% true.
